eBook // Listener’s Guide for IGS 1948 Summer Seminar-Workshop

Today, the Institute of General Semantics published on its website my new ebook, Listener’s Guide for IGS 1948 Summer Seminar-Workshop.

The ebook is included within an MP3 collection of audio recordings I recently digitized from the IGS archives. The ebook helps lay out what happened at the 1948 course at Millbrook School in New York and provides valuable historical insight into the lectures contained in the collection.

My interest in general semantics goes back to my freshman year of college. I am a long-time board member for IGS and am also its webmaster.
